does not so often attack the man who is busy
with the pen, and the book, and the troWei

certain amount of drudgery through which we
must all pass, whatever be our occupation.
You know how men are sentenced, certain
number TO years of prison. and after they have
suffered and worked out the time, then they
are allowed to go free. And so it is with
All OF us. God passed on us the sentence:
by the sweat of thy brow thou shalt eat
bread" We must endure our time of drudgery
and then, after awhile we will be allowed to
go INTO comparative liberty. We must be
willing to endure the sentence. We all know
what drudgery is connected with the begin
nlnS OF any trade or profession. but this does
not continue all our lives, if it be the students
or the merchants or the mechanics life l

time, but alter awhile these things will become
easy Y GU Will be your own master. Gods
sentence Will be satisfied. You
Will be discharged from prison.
